When I initially started recording my recipes on my food blog, I thought nobody would notice. A few months later, what wonderful food-blogging friends I have made and delicious recipes I have read about.
Here is Laurie's prasopita (leek pie), made as a spiral pie (strifti pita). The recipe calls for thin sheets of filo (phyllo) pastry, leeks, onions, feta cheese and eggs. I substituted the local mizithra for the feta. It can be turned into a lenten pie if you omit the eggs and cheese. The recipe can be found on her page, while the spiral form of the pie was my idea. I brushed it with copious amounts of olive oil - absolute heaven!©All Rights Reserved/Organically cooked.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked it Maria - and I'm also glad I found your blog, which I find endlessly entertaining. I love the spiral form, it looks incredibly good. I'm adding a link to this entry so hopefully others can be inspired by your gorgeous spiral pie!
ReplyDeleteAre you using a new "related posts" thingummy? I don't remember seeing them before. Very nice!

I am going to have to try this yummy recipe. I sure do like the idea of making a spiral pie. I suppose you could do the same for any filling of your choice.
ReplyDeleteHaving to watch my cholesterol, I suppose I could use (sparingly) the spray on oil instead of butter, not as tasty but better for me.
